Preschool Graduation

Q had his preschool graduation ceremony last night. I knew his class had been practicing, but I wasn't sure if he would really go through with it. When I asked him about it the other night, he said he talked to his teacher about it and told her he would think about it. Only Nana and Papa were there because I didn't want to invite other friends and family out only to have him back out. The Church was full of friends and family of the other students, I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but he did so well! He did the procession, recited the two verses and sang the three songs! He even managed to crack a smile while singing. We were so proud of him and it was so awesome to see him be proud of himself.

Yeti Sighting

Seeing the real Quentin in action is rare for most, it's like a yeti sighting. He only cuts loose around family and his cousins have a way of really getting him to come out of his shell. Tonight he was feeling so good because he did so well in his tae kwon do class. Q got to hang out at his cousin's house after his class while I did my tae kwon do class and this is what I came home to when I went to pick him up. Hold on to your hats and glasses......this is the Q that I see all the time, but no one ever sees this side of him!

Board Breaking

Q is really good at board breaking, but he has no idea that he is because of his lack of self confidence. He just doesn't see how strong he is and doesn't realize he has good technique. His instructors are so patient with him and keep encouraging him to build up his self confidence. After lots of practice that included crying and freezing up, board breaking is finally something Q enjoys.

No More Training Wheels!!

Woohoo!! We've been telling Q it was almost time to take off his training wheels. The other day B took them off and held him while he scooted around a little. Last night Q asked if he could try riding his bike some more while I did the laundry, so he did a little scooting around on his own. Tonight he asked if he could try riding again. He scooted around a couple of times then just started peddling!! B and I were stunned!!

Five!!

The little man had his checkup today. He called his gown his doctor pj's. He's 42 inches and 38 pounds, 39th percentile on the height and 20th percentile on the weight. He's been practicing his writing, getting ready to start kindergarten in the fall. That will be interesting, for both Q and me.

Cooper

Last week Q's instructor was out sick, so Cooper's instructor had him lead stretching for Q's class. It was a very proud moment for Cooper, he did a great job. Mom, you would be really proud of Cooper he's so helpful with the little kids.

Tuesdays and Thursdays

Q goes to tae kwon do on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Tuesday and Thursday nights are my favorite, after class we spend time at my brother's and have so much fun. Last week the kids made paper claws, they even made me a set. Here's the pictures of the claw battles.
